I don't know how the Prince Hall Scottish Rite works, but in the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction, you're eligible for the honor of Knight Commander Court of Honor (KCCH) after a minimum of 4 years of active service to the fraternity, and eligible for the 33rd degree a minimum of 4 years after that. So a Master Mason could, in theory, go from 3° to 33° in as little as 8 years if he was particularly active in his local Scottish Rite body. 12 to 16 years is more common, and, of course, many Masons never receive those honors at all.

Sorry then i cannot believe he is a 33 degree mason. Any mason i know of that level are all in there advancing years, and have been as active as you can get in freemasonary in order to achieve there degree
That's more of a regional thing. There are some areas where Shriners & Scottish Rite are at odds with each other for one thing or another. I've personally never heard of anyone having a specific beef with York Rite members, but I haven't travelled as widely as some of my more knowledgeable brethren.

There are a number of lodges for military stationed overseas. Easy enough to join, and if he was stationed in Germany, it's not like he was busy with combat...

How could you have gotten to be a freemason if you went into the military at 18? Were you in school at 18? Did you graduate at 18? Then you would have to go three months of basic training, then some months to AIT (it depends how long your schooling is) and then on to your new unit.

Sorry about your wifes story however, one of the most important Masonic lessons that i ever learned, i learned as a youth.
I was / am a DeMolay and one of my Advisors (masonic guide basically) told me.
"Ya know (insert name) there's gonna be A holes no matter where ya go, EVEN in The Masons"!
Trust me, in my group of friends even if it were a Mason, if it were found to be true, said person would meet with a very ...difficult time.
As Masons strive to be better and to better each other as well as the community, such an offense would be unforgiveable in my eyes.
I am truly sorry that this skews your view of Masonry.

and here's the galaxy, in metaphorical form, using human bodies to depict planets, moons and stars in rotation about (note black box in the middle!) the super massive black hole at its center (this is hajj at the kabbah, which predates islam!)
NOW, check out the placement of the "black box" on a hebrew (note the ineffable name of god is on the box!)
the ineffable name of god is connected to the super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy (and other galaxies too, presumably). why? because, according to this video, super massive black holes created the universe!!

so, what's happening with the widow's son, exactly?
think of it as orders of magnitude.
creation of the universe via wormholes.
creation of matter from waves, via observation ??
creation of human beings from wormholes?
something is here, and i'm gonna get it figured out sooner or later!

well I was a lil taken back by this thread
for many reasons.
First, was the notion that maybe your brother told you this info
"On the Square". If that be the case, then you have betrayed
your friend's trust and confidant and not worthy to be called
a brother as you have broken your oath. If this info was NOT
shared on the square, then please disregard #1.
Second, you have already given more than enough info
about yourself to be found should the need ever arise for the
craft to do so. That should not be considered a threat by
me, just an acknowledgment of the facts presented.
Third, I would like to remind you of your oath once again
and it's implications. An oath cannot be rescinded even
if you leave the fraternity for any reason.
Fourth, IF this story is true (which I have doubts) then maybe
your loyalty has been tested and we see the results of
that test. A loyalty test is given to those whom have
aspirations of the 33Deg. It would seem that you may
have failed miserably in that regard.
Fifth, I do not think a 32Deg Mason would be privy to such
info as you are displaying in this thread. Which brings into
question your motives for doing so.
Sixth, no Masonic Organization that I am aware of allows
an 18 yr old to be initiated, passed or even raised. As it
is passed down by by-laws that the age requirement is 21
for a petition. Which also throws doubt onto your legitimacy.
So, even at it's finest point,
there are holes in this thread
which lead to red flags
of concern.
so mote it be
Past Master

Most Masonic bibles are just King James Version with some additional notes in the margins of passages that are used in Masonic ritual.

Maybe not a majority, but you'd be surprised how many members, (and for that matter, how many moderators) on ATS are Freemasons. It's as good a place to spread the word as any...

You claim this message is for 32nd degree Masons, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that I doubt a majority of the people on this public website are 32nd degree Masons.
Yeah, but it's a lot slower. He posted this thread yesterday. My next stated meeting won't be for another month... Official messages from Grand Lodge even take longer to propagate...
Even if they were, I am sure that your group has ways of communicating with one another without the risk of spreading any sort of relevant information that doesn't involve a public forum.
yes but some people take it too far, and insist their version of order be the final result of the chaos.
at the expense of as many people as necessary. i do.not.want.to.be.a.statistic of such insanity.
to top that off, i 'm convinced the chaos in ancient texts was originally about the wormhole, the chaotic "water" of creation, the egyptian nun, the sumerian abzu, which is the biblical abyss/bottomless pit or even further back, the function from which galaxies are created.
it's only the cruelty in our hearts, that lead us to believe that causing chaos for others, can bring about
a correct order. and no one will ever convince me that the needs of the many outweigh the few or the one, at least, no human will convince me of that. . otherwise, the many can be abused at will! because there's no personal protection for the individual members of the whole.
